INTRODUCTION: Self-esteem, coping strategies and perceived social support play a
role in the adaptive functioning of the human being: they allow the adjustment
of the subject to his/her environment. These dimensions could be protective
factors regarding multiple risks associated with adolescent development, and
particularly substance use. Thus our objective was twofold: to evaluate
self-esteem, coping strategies and perceived social support in adolescents and
young adults with a cannabis dependence in comparison with subjects from the
general population; to establish the correspondence between these psychological
dimensions and the patients’ substance use pattern.
METHOD: Data from 43 young patients (36 males; mean age=19.6±3), consulting for
their cannabis dependence, and 50 young adults from the general population (39
males; mean age=19.7±3.4) were included. Participants completed the Rosenberg
Self-Esteem Inventory, the Social Self-Esteem Inventory of Lawson, the Coping
Inventory for Stressful Situation of Endler & Parker, and the Perceived Social
Support Questionnaire of Sarason. The MINI was administered to evaluate cannabis
abuse or dependence; a semi-structured clinical interview was given to determine
psychoactive substance use.
RESULTS: Between-group comparisons (two independent sample t-tests) showed that
the patients had significantly lower scores on global (P=0.002) and social
(P=0.035) self-esteem, task-oriented coping (P
